I’m an additional cardholder. How do I activate my card?

Altitude cards

If you’re an additional card holder on an Altitude Business Platinum Mastercard® or Altitude Business Gold Mastercard, each cardholder will need to activate their own credit card using the steps above. 

Note: The primary cardholder (the person who opened the credit card account with us) must activate their card first, before you can use your card.

BusinessChoice cards

If you’re an additional cardholder on a BusinessChoice Rewards Platinum Mastercard or BusinessChoice Everyday Mastercard, each cardholder will need to activate their own credit card using the steps above.

Note: The Principal 1 and Principal 2 cardholder must activate their credit card before you can activate yours. Once the Principal 1 and Principal 2 cardholders have activated their cards, all cards under this account can be activated the following business day.

What’s next?

Set or change your PIN

You can update your PIN when you activate your card online. Read our guide to setting or changing your PIN.

Enhance your card security

Your card is protected by a range of security measures, including our Fraud Money Back Guarantee. For additional security, please sign the back of the card as soon as you receive it.

Set up new recurring payments

To set up recurring payments, you’ll need to your service providers and give them your new credit card details. Check their websites to see if you can update your details online.

Manage existing recurring payments

If your card has been reissued, it is likely that your card details will have changed. If you have regular recurring payments, you’ll need to update your card details with each of your service providers.
